Tattoos

•  Tattoos have been around for a long time, about as long as 5000+ years, and they are as diverse as the people that wear them and in my generation it has turned into the “thing” to have just like body piercing, I have 2 piercings, where as my girlfriend has 8 piercings, and if you search the internet or check your e-mails there has been at least one person that has sent you a list of pictures that show someone who has their whole body either tattooed or pierced.
   Tattoos are a big thing now a days but the hard part is figuring out:
• What you want
• Where you want it
• What colours are there
• What colours you want
• How much will it set me back
• Who is the best artist for the job
• When is your appointment going to be (if you make one some artists are booked for months)

 Well there are a large variety of designs and by large I mean you can have anything you want on your body like a duck all the way to the Macintosh apple logo and a souped up car all the way back to the duck, funny how that works huh? But the industry is forever growing, and more people are entering the business and well doing what they love and that is taking their designs and putting them on your body.
I’m going to tell you a very short story.
 I’m 19 years old and I have a son who is 1 ½ years old, I was going to get a tattoo of his name in old English style font on my arm, so I went to the tattoo artist and asked how much it would be for him to do that , and he said “it all depends on how big the font is, where you want it, how much time it will take and how complex it will be.” so I told him what I wanted and the price was around $40 all the way up to $120, that’s a lot of money for a tattoo if you ask me, so I didn’t get it but I am going to get it when I have the money to burn on that specific tattoo, my girlfriend has a butterfly on her right breast, and that cost her about $80 and that was on sale and it is only like 1 ½ by 1 ¾ inches big. And it cost her $80 on sale. So the moral of this little story is if your going to get a tattoo better make sure that’s what you want and that you have the money for it.
 Now back to my article, now to get a design for a tattoo you can do a couple things for it I will make a list so it will be easier to read.

• Go to Google and search for a picture of what you want and print it out
• You can draw it if your good at drawing (but if you want stick men you need any drawing techniques)
• You can use Photoshop and make a picture in that and print it out(or MS paint if you don’t have PS)
• You can choose a design from what the tattoo artist shows you
• You can always go to this site http://www.over3500tattoos.com
• And when in doubt just get someone’s name with a nice font.

And just ask the artist about colours that you can get for your tattoo. It is up to you where you want it, but just remember your body is your canvas do what you want with it.Watch for more of my articles about tatoos. All the best Marc (The Tattoo Kid)

They say that a picture paints a thousand words and so is a tattoo. It shows your artistic and your creative side by having this body art. To some it is a form of expressing liberty while during those primitive days, tattoos mean more than just a dab of ink.

Back then tattoos symbolize status, or represent a mark of social belongingness. Most of the chieftains or tribal leaders are covered with tattoos to ward away bad spirits or to show his status as the leader of the tribe. Some tattoos were put on men who had done some sort of bravery for the benefit of the pack or it could also be a mark of excellence.

These days, tattoos are used as a form of body decoration. They say that tattoos show their personality as well as their creativity. Getting a tattoo needs a lot of things to consider. Always remember that it is permanent unlike the henna tattoo. Check out AZ tattoo parlors to get the best out of your tattooing experience. If you want to get a tattoo, make sure that you have thought of the design many times before getting through the tattooing process. In this way, you would not have any second thoughts of getting it removed sometime in the future.

If you are looking for the hottest tattoo designs for women then you can have a lot of options. AZ tattoo parlors have fabulous designs for men and women alike. You can look for tattoo galleries on the internet or simply have a unique design of your own. If you have the passion and talent for drawing, then getting a tattoo design would not be difficult at all. First, where would you want your tattoo? Your tattoo could be located on the sexy parts of the body.

On women, a tattoo could be done underneath or just beside the bra strap. In this way, you can hide it quite easily if you need to go for a job interview or a formal affair. In addition, you can reveal it when you are out in the summer wearing your bikini or fabulous swimsuit. If you do not like it then you can choose to have it done on your hip part. It will be appealing and you can hide it easily. Other places where you could get your tattoo done is on the ankle or wrist. However, if it is your first time to get a tattoo you will feel a little more pain than having it done on the bulkier parts.

Most women love to have small tattoos with simple designs. The most popular designs done by AZ tattoo parlors for ladies are the butterflies, stars, zodiac sign, a cross or a Chinese character. These designs are feminine yet full of symbolism. If you are getting a tattoo for the first time, then you should think about the design as well as the size. If you choose to have a small tattoo, then you may find it less painful. However, if you are brave enough to endure it, then opt for a larger tattoo.
